Important Operating Considerations for Safety<br />

• Refer to this guide for proper startup and shutdown procedures.<br />

• Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the projector.<br />

• Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 8 degrees off axis.<br />

• Locate the projector at least 4' (1.2m) away from any heating or cooling vents.<br />

• Do not block ventilation openings. Locate the projector in a well-ventilated<br />

area without obstructions to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector<br />

on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the vents.<br />

• Do not place the projector in direct sunlight, humid, greasy or dusty places or<br />

in places where the projector may come into contact with smoke or steam.<br />

• Do not touch the exhaust vents. This area will become hot while the projector<br />

is being used. Be sure children are kept away from this area.<br />

• Do not look directly into the lens while the projector is being used. Be<br />

especially careful that children do not stare directly into the lens.<br />

• Do not push objects of any kind into this projector through its venting as object<br />

may touch dangerous voltage that could result in a fire or electrical shock.<br />

• Do not drop the projector.<br />

• Do not spill liquid on the projector. Spilled liquid may damage the projector.<br />

• Do not place any object on the projector.<br />

• Do not stand or step on the projector.<br />

• Use the power cord provided. Connect the power cord to a receptacle with a<br />

protective safety (earth) ground terminal. The AC power cord has a three-pin<br />

grounding-type power plug. This plug will only fit a grounding-type power<br />

outlet. This is a safety feature. Do not remove the grounding pin on the power<br />

plug.<br />

• A surge-protected power strip is recommended. Do not overload wall outlets.<br />

• When disconnecting the power cord, hold the plug, not the cord. Unplug the<br />

projector from the wall outlet, if the projector is unused for an extended time.<br />

• Wash hands after handling the cables supplied with this product.<br />

• The projector remote control uses batteries. Make sure the batteries’ polarity<br />

(+/-) is aligned correctly. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local<br />

disposal laws.<br />

• Use an <strong>InFocus</strong> approved ceiling mount kit for proper fitting, ventilation and<br />

installation. The projector warranty does not cover any damage caused by use<br />

of non-approved ceiling mount kits or by installing in an improper location.<br />

• When the projector is ceiling mounted, wear protective eyewear to prevent eye<br />

injury before opening lamp door.<br />

• The projector must be installed by a qualified professional in order to ensure<br />

proper operation and reduce the risk of hazards or injury. It is not<br />

recommended you install the projector yourself.<br />

• Refer all service to qualified service personnel. Servicing your own projector<br />

can be dangerous to you and will void the warranty.<br />

• Only use replacement parts specified by <strong>InFocus</strong>. Unauthorized substitutions<br />

may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury, and may void the warranty<br />

• Only genuine <strong>InFocus</strong> lamps are tested for use in this projector. Use of non<br />

<strong>InFocus</strong> lamps may cause electrical shock and fire, and may void the projector<br />

warranty.<br />

• Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local<br />

disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.<br />

• The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp may fail<br />

prematurely, or it may rupture with a popping sound if jolted, scratched, or<br />

handled while hot. The risk of lamp failure or rupture also increases as the<br />

lamp age increases; please replace the lamp when you see the “Replace Lamp”<br />

message.<br />

• In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the projector<br />

vents. Keep people, food, and drinks out of the "keep out" area under and<br />

around the projector, as indicated by the "X" areas below.<br />

Unplug this projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service<br />

personnel under the following conditions:<br />

• When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed<br />

• If liquid has been spilled into the projector<br />

• If the projector has been exposed to rain or water<br />

• If the projector does not operate normally by following the operating<br />

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating<br />

instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and<br />

may required extensive work to restore the projector to normal operation<br />

• If the projector has been dropped<br />

• When the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a<br />

need for service.<br />

Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over the life of<br />

the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the warranty. For<br />

complete details of the warranty, see the Warranty Booklet.<br />

Positioning the projector<br />

To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your<br />

screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector<br />

and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general guidelines:<br />

• Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The<br />

projector must be at least 4.9’ (1.5m) from the projection screen.<br />

• Position the projector within 10’ (3m) of your power source and within 6’<br />

(1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To ensure<br />

adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6” (.15m) of a wall or<br />

other object.<br />

• Position the projector to the desired distance from the screen. The distance<br />

from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video<br />

format determine the size of the projected image.<br />

• If the image is square but not centered on the screen or viewing area, adjust it<br />

by using the lens shift dials. Use the Horizontal dial to shift the lens left or<br />

right. Use the Vertical dial to shift the lens up or down.<br />

NOTE: As the lens is shifted away from the lens centerline, the horizontal<br />

shift range is reduced. To adjust lens shift efficiently we suggest you follow<br />

these steps:<br />

• The vertical image offset range is 105%~130% for the SP8602 (default is<br />

105%). The default horizontal image offset is +/-15%, however at maximum<br />

vertical image offset, there is no horizontal lens shift.<br />

2 Use horizontal lens shift to determine the center horizontal position, then move<br />

image to the center horizontal position.<br />

3 Use vertical lens shift to move the image away from the lens centerline to the<br />

final vertical position.<br />

4 Use horizontal lens shift to move the image to the final horizontal position.<br />

5 If lens shift is unable to move the image far enough, move the projector<br />

(preferable) or tilt the projector and then use vertical and horizontal keystone to<br />

re-position the image.<br />

Ceiling Mount<br />

If you wish to install the projector on the ceiling:<br />

• The projector must be installed by a qualified professional in order to ensure<br />

proper operation and reduce the risk of hazards or injury. It is not<br />

recommended you install the projector yourself.<br />

• We strongly recommend using <strong>InFocus</strong> approved ceiling mounts for proper<br />

fitting, ventilation and installation. Refer to the installation guide that comes<br />

with the <strong>InFocus</strong> Ceiling Mount Kit (p/n SP-CEIL-INSTALL) for more<br />

information. The warranty does not cover any damage caused by use of nonapproved<br />

ceiling mount kits or by installing in an improper location.<br />

• The ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation<br />

must be in accordance with any local building codes. Consult your dealer for<br />

more information.<br />

• Maximum supported physical pitch is +/-8º.<br />

• Maximum supported physical horizontal roll is +/-8º.<br />

• Keep all adjacent surfaces 3” (76mm) from sides, front and rear and .87”<br />

(22mm) from the bottom of projector to preserve required airflow around the<br />

projector.<br />

NOTE: Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector.<br />

Connecting a computer source<br />

HDMI 1.3 connection<br />

HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI<br />

provides an interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and<br />

receivers and your projector. Plug an HDMI cable into the video out connector on<br />

the video device and into either the HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 connector on the projector.<br />

To take advantage of HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (30 bit) you must have a 1.3-<br />

compatible source.<br />

VGA connection<br />

Connect one end of the provided computer cable to the VGA connector on the<br />

Connecting a video device<br />

You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital<br />

cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector.<br />

You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video. You<br />

cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or<br />

satellite company; the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners are<br />

digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes.<br />

Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner.<br />

Although the aspect ratio is automatically selected by the projector based on the<br />

signal input, you can change the aspect ratio, if desired. The projector’s Aspect<br />

Ratio setting is accessed through the Resize button on the remote or through the<br />

projector’s Basic Picture Menu. See page 27 for more information.<br />

Video device connections<br />

You can order cables from <strong>InFocus</strong> or use your own.<br />

Composite video connection<br />

Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the video out connector on<br />

the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Composite<br />

connector on the projector.<br />

Keep in mind that video output from composite connections is not as high quality as<br />

S-video.<br />

HDMI 1.3 connection<br />

HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI<br />

provides an interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and<br />

receivers and your projector. Plug an HDMI cable into the video out connector on<br />

the video device and into either the HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 connector on the projector.<br />

To take advantage of HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (30 bit) you must have a 1.3-<br />

compatible source.<br />

S-video connection<br />

If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an S-video<br />

cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the S-video<br />

connector on the projector.<br />

Keep in mind that S-video delivers higher quality video output than composite.<br />

VGA connection<br />

If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included<br />

computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This connector may<br />

be labeled “To Monitor” on the video source. Plug the computer cable into the VGA<br />

connector on the projector.<br />

Component video connection<br />

Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug the other end of the<br />

component cable into the Component 1, Component 2 or Component 3<br />

connectors.<br />

In addition, a Component to VGA adapter can be used in conjunction with the VGA<br />

connectors. Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug the other end of<br />

the component cable into the adapter and plug the adapter into the VGA connector.<br />

Component offers the highest quality analog video output.<br />

13


What is Aspect Ratio?<br />

Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. HDTV and most DVDs<br />

are 16:9, which is the default for this projector. When in 4:3 mode the projector<br />

places black bars on both sides of the image. Native mode centers the image and<br />

turns off the internal scaler so that any resolution larger than the native projector<br />

resolution is cropped on the edges. Letterbox expands the image to fill the screen.<br />

Natural Wide stretches a 4:3 image to fill the entire 16:9 screen. The center twothirds<br />

of the image is unchanged; the edges of the image are stretched.<br />

What you plan to project will also help you choose between 4:3 and 16:9. For<br />

example, most TV shows are 4:3, while most movies are 16:9. If you have a 16:9<br />

screen, then you should select an aspect ratio of 16:9 for anamorphic movies and<br />

HDTV, and Native for 4:3 content. If you have a 4:3 screen you should still use 16:9<br />

for anamorphic movies or HDTV, but you also have the option of using 4:3, Native,<br />

or Natural Wide for 4:3 content. Force Wide can also be enabled to automatically<br />

resize less common aspect ratios to 16:10.<br />

Using the remote control<br />

• Source 1, 2, 3 switches between user assigned sources.<br />

The remote uses two (2) AA batteries. You can install the batteries by removing the<br />

cover from the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the batteries, sliding them<br />

into place, and then replacing the cover.<br />

Caution:<br />

• When disposing of the batteries, be sure to do so in an environmentally proper<br />

manner.<br />

• If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.<br />

• Avoid excessive heat and humidity.<br />

• Ensure the batteries’ polarity (+/-) is aligned correctly.<br />

• Do not mix new and old batteries together, or different types of batteries<br />

together.<br />

• Replace the batteries as soon as they run out.<br />

• Remove batteries from the remote control when storing or not in use for a<br />

prolonged period.<br />

To operate, point the remote at the front of the projector (not at the computer). The<br />

range of optimum operation is about 30’ (9m).<br />

Replacing the projection lamp<br />

The lamp hours timer in the Projector Info menu counts the number of hours the<br />

lamp has been in use. Twenty hours before the lamp life expires, the message<br />

“Replace lamp” appears on the screen at startup.<br />

• NOTE: Be sure to use the <strong>InFocus</strong> lamp module designed for this projector.<br />

You can order new lamps from www.infocus.com (in select areas), your<br />

retailer or your dealer. Only genuine <strong>InFocus</strong> lamps are tested for use in this<br />

projector. Use of non <strong>InFocus</strong> lamps may cause electrical shock and fire, and<br />

may void the projector warranty. <strong>InFocus</strong> is not liable for the performance,<br />

safety or certification of any other lamps.<br />

unplug projector<br />

Wait 60<br />

minutes<br />

WARNINGS:<br />

• The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp may fail<br />

prematurely, or it may rupture with a popping sound if jolted, scratched, or<br />

handled while hot. The risk of lamp failure or rupture also increases as the<br />

lamp age increases; please replace the lamp when you see the “Replace Lamp”<br />

message.<br />

• To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before you<br />

replace the lamp.<br />

• Unplug the power cord before replacing the lamp.<br />

• Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury.<br />

• Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp module. Fingerprints can obscure<br />

projection sharpness and may cause the glass to shatter.<br />

• Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely event<br />

that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp<br />

module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but use caution when<br />

removing it.<br />

• Before replacing a ruptured lamp, clean the lamp compartment and dispose of<br />

cleaning materials. Wash hands after lamp replacement.<br />

• When replacing the lamp while the projector is ceiling-mounted, wear<br />

protective eyewear to prevent eye injury.<br />

Error Conditions<br />

Not all commands are supported for all projectors. If an unsupported command is<br />

issued, the command will be ignored. If a command is received that is not<br />

understood, a ‘?’ character will be returned indicating the commandwas not<br />

understood.<br />

Limitations<br />

The projector cannot respond to commands coming in at a high-rate. Therefore, a<br />

delay must occur between commands to ensure that the command gets properly<br />

executed. To assure the projector can process a command, wait 3 seconds before<br />

entering the next command.<br />

The Step column refers to increasing or decreasing the menu bar position since the<br />

On-screen Display is not an exact match of values. For example, Step 2 changes the<br />

data by 2 through the CLI (Command Line Interface). The menu bar is up (or down)<br />

by 1.<br />
